Review of Newsies (1992) by Dawdlingpoet — 17 Sep 2022
I quite enjoyed this. yes its cheesy and perhaps a bit predictable but its also entertaining, with some nice musical numbers and the accents did make me smirk a bit. There's a good young cast present - I suppose it made me think a little of the Bugsy Malone film featuring children in the cast, although there's no real violence depicted here, via whipped cream cakes or otherwise (If you've seen Bugsy Malone, you'll know what I mean).
It's interesting to see Christian Bale as somewhat of a youngster in such a film - I can't say I ever thought I'd see him in a musical but there you go.
